Chapter 11 NAT Forwarding Modem router's NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes the devices in the LAN use the same public IP address to communicate in the Internet, which protects the local network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about the problem that external host cannot initiatively communicate with the specified device in the local network. With forwarding feature the modem router can penetrate the isolation of NAT and allows the external hosts in the Internet to initiatively communicate with the devices in the local network, thus to realize some special functions. TP-LINK modem router includes four forwarding rules. If two or more rules are set, the priority of implementation from high to low is Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, UPnP and DMZ. This chapter contains the following sections: • Share Local Resources in the Internet by Virtual Server • Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering • Free Applications from Port Restriction by DMZ • Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by UPnP
